Bible verses

Children’s children are a crown to the aged,
and parents are the pride of their children.

Whoever would foster love covers over an offense,
but whoever repeats the matter separates close friends.

A friend loves at all times,
and a brother is born for a time of adversity.

A cheerful heart is good medicine,
but a crushed spirit dries up the bones.

Even fools are thought wise if they keep silent,
and discerning if they hold their tongues.

Bible verse of the day

One who has unreliable friends soon comes to ruin, but there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother.
